Capt Nemo 882 Posted April 11, 2021 Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 Yeah, it's something I've been dreading! Estimate was $14K. Least nothings leaking yet! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patriot 7,197 Posted April 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 Get it before it leaks or it'll be thousands more. Get lifetime shingles, or metal if you're going to stay there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G O B 3,516 Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 When I had my house built, I upgraded to a commercial metal roof. 50 year warranty. I will be 115 when that happens, so it will be someone else's problem! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Since Jake from State Farm now identifies as black (used to be a white guy) I'm not sure how that will affect my service. I hate pandering. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jerry52 893 Posted April 17, 2021 Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 They like to wear you down so over time you get frustrated and quit. I was taught that frustration is the mother of determination. Never quit! Never surrender! Hope you stay dry and that it works out for you. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patriot 7,197 Posted April 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 The contractor is putting a new roof on as I type this. Rated fopr 130MPH, so it should be good for quite some time. I keep a bit of cash available just for emergencies. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
